PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

From what I've seen Light Rain doesn't pool like regular rain.

 

[Xcoopz21X]

Right so im into the 2.08's consistently now

 

[Nico Schembri193847]

Happy to have you guys, We are looking for Full timers people to run regularly. We will need to determine what class is the best to run in.

I think the best class for me right now would be AM to see where I am at. Thanks

 

[Nico Schembri193847]

I’ll check my times at each of those tracks and let you know what I can do.

 

[Michael Watts]

I’ll check my times at each of those tracks and let you know what I can do.

Simply running those tracks in TT will post them to the leaderboard.

Steward's Decision
Matt receives a 5 second time penalty and 5 penalty points for exceeding track limits.

Indrek is given 15 penalty points and disqualified from the sprint race for excessively abusing track limits.

 

[Scooter fales]

When you get a Car Picked out, Have a Go at Time Trial: Barcelona-Catalunya GP, Long Beach and Spa. Those times will help determine which class you should be in. If you Hit Y you should be able to see My Time for each track. I set a rather slow one at Spa.

I will be in the Audi r8 lms 24h #79 simplay racing team

 

[ozwheels]

This man just got 15 penalty points for track limits in a 20 minute race. Scapegoat Racing may have a new reserve driver.

 

[Indrek Maeots]

i can understand if i gain time or a place becaus of exeeding...but runnining wide and loosing time myself and getting penalty for it......thats just wrong

 

[Indrek Maeots]

watch my vid from first till last lap....i give you max 4 times running wide...that photo mode is bs

 

[Scooter fales]

I'm not even going to attempt a single lobby unless we have 10 or less drivers. I'm not even sure the newest patch is going to address multi-player issues.

If the race is still on I'm in for amateur

 

[Adam Morris]

husayd that it was only 8 times....and that just f stupid,running wide beacause of setup or avoiding other ppl crashing into you....or as some are just overtaking and dont give a f what happens insaid or behind them...they just know "im awesome and im right"

in all fairness mate no one should have any limit of strikes yet drivers are given the benefit to have the set amount of times you can be caught extending before its reviewed. i understand your frustrations but 17 extends in the feature race is deserving of a penalty as well as 11 in the sprint when the limit is 4. As for the Oz incident i have no comment as it doesn't involve me. in future just be aware that track limits are policed and do your best to be within the limits. On the other hand your pace was pretty good so keep that up

 

[Adam Morris]

i can understand if i gain time or a place becaus of exeeding...but runnining wide and loosing time myself and getting penalty for it......thats just wrong

its not all about time gained at end of the day its about respecting the rules and track limits if u gain time that just makes it worse

 

[Xcoopz21X]

From what I've seen Light Rain doesn't pool like regular rain.

There is a puddle that forms on the left hander after hanger straight (national straight ) right bastard of a spot as well.

 

[Hurt MaGurt]

Either Drivers stay in the Lobby when Retire to the Pits or you message me before you quit and let me know How many laps you ran if you want to get credit/Points for running.

I'm not worried about points from this round, i'm fine with a zero. Again I apologize for quitting.

The Track

Circuit of The Americas (COTA) is a grade 1 FIA specification 3.427-mile (5.515 km) motor racing facility located in Austin, Texas, on the southeastern periphery of Austin city limits, in Central Texas. COTA plays host to the Formula One United States Grand Prix and the Motorcycle Grand Prix of The Americas, a round of the FIM Road Racing World Championship. It previously hosted the Australian V8 Supercars, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), the Rolex Sports Car Series, the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The circuit and Grand Prix were first proposed in the middle of 2010. The circuit was the first in the United States to be purpose-built for Formula One. The layout was conceived by promoter Tavo Hellmund and 1993 Motorcycle World Champion Kevin Schwantz with the assistance of German architect and circuit designer Hermann Tilke, who has also designed the Sepang, Shanghai, Yas Marina, Istanbul, Bahrain, Yeongam, and Buddh circuits, as well as the reprofiling of the Hockenheimring and Fuji Speedway. A crowd of 117,429 watched the Formula One race in November 2012. In a news conference on July 27, 2010, Tavo Hellmund announced plans to build the track on about 890 acres (3.6 km2) of undeveloped land in southeastern Travis County. On April 12, 2011, the track's name was announced as "Circuit of the Americas" at a press conference. The circuit homologation design was submitted to the FIA in Geneva for approval on December 17, 2010. On June 13, 2012, Charlie Whiting—the FIA-appointed Race Director for Formula One—declared himself satisfied with the circuit's construction, scheduling a final pre-race inspection of the circuit for September 25, sixty days before the first race, which the circuit later passed. The track was officially opened on October 21, with Mario Andretti running the ceremonial first laps in a Lotus 79, the car he drove when he became the last American to win the World Drivers' Championship in 1978. In November 2011, Bernie Ecclestone expressed what he called "minor" doubt over the future of the United States Grand Prix in Austin after "disagreements inside the [management] company". These issues were later confirmed when construction of the circuit came to a halt because of a dispute between the circuit owners, promoter Full Throttle Productions, and Formula One Management. Promoter Tavo Hellmund admitted that his company had been in breach of its contract with Formula One Management since May 2011. The situation further escalated when state comptroller Susan Combs described the planned Grand Prix of America as a threat to the race in Texas, and said that the first $25 million payment from the state sports fund would only be made available after the first Grand Prix at the circuit, despite having previously promised to make the funds available in time for the inaugural event. Bernie Ecclestone later issued an ultimatum to the owners and organizers: find a solution before the December 7 meeting of the FIA World Motorsport Council or else risk being removed from the 2012 calendar. Ecclestone emphasized that if the Circuit of the Americas were removed from the calendar, it would not be added again at a later date. On December 7, 2011, the World Motorsport Council released the final calendar for the 2012 season, with the Circuit of the Americas retaining its November 18 date. Further details revealed that the race investors, McCombs and Epstein, had reached a new arrangement with Ecclestone, with work on the circuit scheduled to resume immediately.

Questions

Cota is making its first appearance in TNGTC, are you excited about it?

We saw 3 drivers who started at the back claim the podium in the sprint, why do you think this is? Keeping out of trouble, pace indiscrepency or something else?

We have a few new American tracks in the game, which do you like the most?
